PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigers fought the good battle in Monday’s Ferris Invite, winning six events and claiming 28 top six-performances.

Mendota, however, had a little more in its arsenal, defeating the Tigers at their own game, 251 1/2 to 240 1/2.

“The kids performed great. We had 22 season best or personal best on the night. You can’t ask for more than that from the athletes,” PHS coach Dan Foes said.

Drew Pranka gave the Tigers a double by winning the 110 hurdles (15.68) and pole vault (11-6).

Sophomores Kai Tomaszewski and Lenny Mead also played a part in two first-place efforts for the Tigers. Tomaszewski won the 400 meters (52.51) and Mead (40.61) edged Pranka (40.86) to win the 300 hurdles.

They teamed up with Cody Workman and Austin Wetsel to end the night with a first-place time of 3:36.91 in the 4x400 relay.
